When Mayor Zohran Mamdani last week unveiled the 18-person committee that will advise him on his judicial nominations, he said the committee reflected the city it served.
But to some observers, something seemed off.
Though Jews make up an estimated 10 percent of the New York City population and represent such a significant share of New York City lawyers that the Jewish lawyer has become a cultural stereotype, the mayor’s 18-person committee seemed to have no Jews on it.
On Monday, Elizabeth Forspan, the president of the Brandeis Association of Queens, a group of Jewish legal professionals, sent a letter to Mr. Mamdani protesting the apparent absence of Jewish representation. The letter was co-signed by leaders of the Jewish Lawyers Guild of Manhattan, the Brooklyn Brandeis Society and the Bronx County Jewish Bar Association.
“Not a single Jewish attorney, former judge, or legal professional was appointed to a committee your administration described as one that would be ‘truly reflective of New York City,’” they wrote, citing the news release the mayor sent out announcing the appointments.

Did they expect the scorpion NOT to be a scorpion?
Ain’t it going to “humbling” when the obvious choice for a selection just happens to be a Jew because so many of the choices are attornies many highly qualified? And that they aren’t going to be able to hide as someone is always watching and will hit the news sources.
As Carnack would say, The anwer is “yes.”
And the question is are they that stupid?
But they have an out. They can always raise the amount of committee just like if they want to increase the size of the SCOTUS. The milk is already spilled so they just spill more.

Before that piece of crap was elected..I said that it was a real shame that in NYC, the city where the World Trade Center once stood, that they would elect a guy who would have gladly been one of the hijackers, yet they voted for him anyway
“Not a single Jewish attorney, former judge, or legal professional was appointed to a committee your administration described as one that would be ‘truly reflective of New York City,’”
We told you so...but you wouldn’t listen.
“Jewish lawyers’ groups expressed their frustration to Mayor Zohran Mamdani that his 18-member advisory committee on the judiciary appeared to have no Jewish representation”
What do they expect?
This A-hole is an overt antisemite and couldn’t care less who knows it.
Nyc had the chance to avoid this demon but nooooo.
Jews in NYC need to get it through their heads and the sooner the better....they have NO seat at the table as long as that jackass is mayor.
I think that these Jewish lawyers groups need not complain because I suspect many of them voted for Mamdami. They are getting it good and hard. I wonder if any of them understand cause and effect?
Idiots.
You are complaining about the death injection that is going into the needle you voted into office.
We are all aware of how you helped HRC get into the Senate which led to her being SoS and then running for POTUS so you had the power to keep this traitor out. Just enjoy the fruits of your non labor this time around.
Mamdani: 573,169 votes (56.4%)
Cuomo: 443,229 votes (43.6%)
So what ?
Just wait ‘till NYC sees Mamdani’s panel’s idea of justices.
Sharia Law is coming to NYC.
Seemed... Those smarter, Chosen people don't seem to have the talent of reading a room. I guess only being part Jewish and mostly Italian gives me something those arrogant pricks don't have. You knew what you were getting when you allowed him to be elected. Yes, allowed. Enjoy!
They don’t refer to the New York Times as ‘that Muslim rag’ for nothing
Diversity is only important when conservative put groups together.
What a surprise! Btw, for whom did THEY vote?
Jewish household in Berlin 1933: “Oh, Hitler wasn’t talking about us, he was only talking about the bad Jews.”
Are there any Christians on the advisory board? Or just Muslims?
Good point Mamdani took it as a real deal small things amuse small minds.
